Attack on Titan Synopsis

The story is set in a world where humanity is living within walls to protect itself from giant man-eating beings known as Titans. These concentric walls serve as a barrier, and the people within these walls felt a sense of peace since they did not encounter Titans for a few hundred years.

One of the citizens of Shiganshina, Eren Yeager, witnesses a personal loss, resulting in him dedicating his entire life to the obliteration and extinction of Titans. He trains to become a part of the Survey Corps to fight against Titans as he vowed to kill every last one of them.
